Nevermind, they play too much Andy Griffith on TV Land, so I'm back to CN watching Aqua Teen Hungerforce.

"To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence… When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." - C.S. Lewis

Well, we don't kill them for the pelts, we kill them to get rid of them. They're a predator and pose a danger to a lot of livestock and wild animals that are actually beneficial to crops (like rabbits). Also, at this time of year, when they start to starve because of the snow, they can pose a threat to people as well. That's why, for the most part, it's always open season on coyotes in Illinois. I don't think you can hunt them during the deer shotgun seasons, but that might be it.

Meesa back! Mrs. TI7 had report cards due for her little third graders, zo.....she's monopolized the computer 'til now.

BigB: .308 ought to eradicate the little varmints just fine, then. I live on the outskirts of my town and we have coyotes pass through the neighborhood frequently. Before more houses started filling in the neighborhood, we had all sorts of critters in our yards (kit foxes, possum, skunk, bobcat, even bears were seen close to the neighborhood one year!). Still do to a point. When new neighbors would move in and brought their cats with them....well.....Kitty sometimes didn't come back thanks to Wiley working the neighborhood. Like you said, in lean years, we're careful when out walking, especially in the evenings.

Am I still winning? Remember, there are no second place winners....

They were a big problem when I lived in New Mexico, too. In fact, most people just shot them on site whenever they were around residential areas.
